Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 1117: Chapter 1116: Truly Exhausted!

Ye Changsheng left the Lin Family with Liang Lan, silent all the way.

For the first time, he felt like he might have made a mistake.

Do you remember what he said when he was doing fortunes for Lu Xiaobu?

Although fortune-telling seems intangible, through the birth chart, you can determine a person’s upper and lower limits, usually fairly accurately!

Because Lu Xiaobu leaped out of the Three Realms, he is not within the Five Elements; therefore, he has no upper limit or lower limit.

So, if guided well, he becomes an immortal; if not, he turns into a demon!

It’s not about cultivation, it’s about his character!

That’s why he agreed to this fate, hoping he could help save it!

However, things did not turn out as he expected!

He tried to prevent Lu Xiaobu from becoming a demon, yet it seems like he has provoked Lin Feng!

What puzzles him is that Lin Feng, whom he has met before and seen his birth chart, his lower limit should not reach the extent of becoming a demon!

But today, looking again, it seems to have changed!

Both his upper and lower limits have expanded greatly, even reaching the level of becoming a demon!

That is why he said those words in the end.

”Uh, Master, may I leave first?” Liang Lan suddenly spoke, ”I don’t want to meet the Young Master like this; it’ll upset him.”

She made a huge mistake today, not only embarrassing herself but also complicating things out of goodwill!

”Um... alright!” Ye Changsheng thought for a moment and nodded, ”But you must tell me where the good person Lu is now?”

”Okay.” Liang Lan nodded.

Although it seemed inappropriate to suddenly disclose the Young Master’s location to someone even Lin Feng feared, on second thought, if he wanted to harm the Young Master, he wouldn’t be opposing Lin Feng.

After that, Liang Lan and Ye Changsheng parted ways.

Liang Lan went to hide traces, trying not to let the Young Master realize, or at least delay his realization.

Meanwhile, Ye Changsheng went looking for Lu Xiaobu.

...

Inside Lu Xiaobu’s caravan, Lu Xiaobu was still pondering life.

For some reason, the more he thought, the more hopeless he felt.

People often say there’s an angel and a demon inside us.

He now felt like he was split into two, constantly battling each other!

Debating endlessly, neither side could yield to the other!

As a result, he kept falling into a loop, unable to escape!

”Mr. Lu, we meet again.” Ye Changsheng came to the vehicle door, speaking to Lu Xiaobu.

”Ah, the fortune teller, hasn’t the divination fee been received?” Lu Xiaobu’s mind was chaotic, but his consciousness was clear.

”No, I’m here to dispel your doubts, Mr. Lu. Would you like to take a walk with me?” Ye Changsheng said calmly.

”Alright.” Lu Xiaobu didn’t overthink it.

His Charging Shield had over twenty billion, even if the opponent was a Grandmaster, he feared nothing. A walk is just a walk!

”Young Master?!” Zhang Meng and Li Jin suddenly grew anxious.

They hadn’t seen this old Taoist before, and now he was taking the Young Master away. What’s the meaning of this?!

”No worries, I know him.” Lu Xiaobu gestured for them to relax, ”You guys head back first, listen to Sister Lan’s arrangements when you get back. I’ll be back soon.”

Since Lu Xiaobu said so, Zhang Meng and Li Jin couldn’t stop him, so they agreed.

”Gentlemen, why don’t you come along as well?” Ye Changsheng suddenly looked at Zheng Hai and Pan Yang, smiling, ”He who tied the bell must untie it. Since you opened this door, you should be responsible for closing it!”

Pan Yang and Zheng Hai glanced at each other after hearing Ye Changsheng’s words, gritted their teeth, and agreed.

They understood Ye Changsheng referred to Lu Xiaobu’s current mental state.

Indeed, since they caused Lu Xiaobu to fall into this state, if unresolved, they already knew the consequences.

So, since they were needed, they had no reason to refuse.

Thus, the four set off without mentioning the destination or when they’d return.

Shortly after Lu Xiaobu left, Liang Lan staggered over, clutching her wounds, looking extremely distressed.

”What happened?!”

Zhang Meng was horrified at the sight of Liang Lan, bleeding from her head and abdomen, lips pale from blood loss!

Liang Lan belonged to the Young Master, and everyone knew this. Yet someone dared attack her?!

Are they courting death?!

Li Jin, thinking further, turned pale instantly, ”Could it be that old Taoist just now?! I’m going to chase after them! Dammit!”

”Wait! Wait! It’s not what you think!” Liang Lan gasped in pain, ”First help me find the medical kit; I’ll explain everything to you later, the Young Master should be fine, you can rest assured about that.”

”Okay.” Zhang Meng helped Liang Lan onto the car, fetched the onboard medical kit, handed it to her, and then went back outside to smoke with Li Jin at the entrance, worried.

Why had things suddenly become so complicated?!

One thing after another, they struggled to keep up!

Fortunately, Liang Lan said the Young Master was fine!

This managed to ease their minds somewhat.

After a while, Liang Lan finished her bandaging and called the two inside, recounting the entire story.

Listening to Liang Lan’s account, Zhang Meng and Li Jin’s faces remained somber!

Perhaps Liang Lan meant something else, but what they noticed was that the Lin Family had a Grandmaster!

In other words, unknowingly, their skills had been outmatched by the enemies the Young Master was facing!

This was nothing short of a disgrace!

They exchanged looks; business matters don’t concern them, nor could they worry about them.

However, their martial arts definitely needed improvement!

After finishing her story, Liang Lan paid them no mind, simply staring blankly in the direction Lu Xiaobu had left.

The Young Master was gone, and it felt like half her heart had left!

Even tears began to flow involuntarily!

Not due to physical pain, or the near-death scare earlier, but out of heartache! Heartache for the Young Master!

Because today, she truly felt Lin Feng’s terrifying presence.

Previously, by the Young Master’s side, protected, she never directly confronted Lin Feng; though aware of his strength, she thought little of it.

Yet today, she realized just how terrifying Lin Feng truly was, how effortlessly a person like herself, who considered herself quite the business genius, fell into a silent, deadly trap!

So, thinking that the Young Master had been facing such an existence alone, still protecting them, keeping up a playful demeanor in front of them, her heart nearly shattered!

Surely the Young Master had long been exhausted!

After all, unlike Lin Feng, who regarded everyone as disposable pieces, the Young Master bore far more burdens!

The Young Master is truly exhausted!
